Sesame Street Potato Sack Racers is a Sesame Street toy line made by Fisher-Price in 2002. The toys can bounce in a (more or less) straight line, and can be set up to race each other. They were sold together as a set.
Squeezing their left hands begins the race, and as they move forward, they play music and make bouncing sounds. They also have various phrases they say.
The American version of the Potato Sack Racers featured Elmo and Cookie Monster; the German Sesamstrasse line also included an Ernie and Bert two-pack.
